Ramsey and his best buddy Ty. These two truly love each other:

Need Some Advice!

So Ramsey just turned 3 and each stage is for sure my favorite. I love the newness of each stage but this one has brought with it NEGOTIATIONS. Meaning Ramsey wants to negotiate EVERYTHING. If I tell him he can have 2 Starburst he wants 3. If I tell him it is time to go to bed and not call me anymore he will find the one thing that can get me back up there(like mommy i need to poop,even if he doesn't). If I tell him it is time to leave for school he says "Just a few more minutes" of Mickey Clubhouse. I feel like he wants to negotiate 100 times a day, oh wait he does. Now I am not a weak person but part of me wants to explain why in the situation and the other part of me wants to say "because I said so". Any advice on what approach has worked for you guys? Is it just the stage? Don't get me wrong I love that my child's brain is constantly churning but should I battle with my 3 year old? Oh, and what is a post without pictures. Here ya go:

Lessons From Ramsey

This morning, like most mornings getting out the door on time is near impossible. I am usually in a crazy hurry and Ramsey isn't cooperating as much as I would like. This morning he was acting a little more naughty then normal so when we FINALLY got in the car he said "mommy, can I have my juice" to which I replied "Nope, if we act naughty we don't get what we want". He thought for a minute and instead of apologizing said "Mommy, you should be nice to your child".

Thanks buddy, I'll keep that one in mind.

Racecar Driver Ramsey

Ramsey finally got to get his McQueen car he got from Santa out in the sunshine yesterday. He loved it! He was able to drive it around the neighborhood and at times I had to run to keep up with. He is a crazy driver for sure. Other cars in the neighborhood should be afraid for sure.

Princess and Pirate Day

Ramsey's preschool had Princess and Pirate day since they were learning all about the letter "P" this week. I got there a little early to visit him in the class room and brought princess crown, and skeleton cookies for the occasion. The kids were so cute and their teachers got them each a pirate dress up set.

This is only about 1/2 of his class. Lots of kids are out sick this week:

He loved being a "bad pirate":

Boys and Their Toys

Cope and Ramsey are both very into Legos these days. I, however can't stand them and their millions of little pieces not to mention Ramsey is constantly asking me to find a missing piece or fix a broken part for the 100th time. I'm not exaggerating here. My brain doesn't care one bit for Legos but apparently Ramsey and Cope's does. I love that they have things that are just theirs, their "boy' things.
